NX 8 FBM Teach operation - anyone successfully used?

NX 8 FBM Teach operation - anyone successfully used?

NX 8 FBM Teach operation - anyone successfully used?

(OP)
Hi There,

I have recently started trying to use FBM in NX cam to program wooden parts such as:

http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4434b07a-ee73-4c4c-b7c8-d13db9803442&file=PART.JPG

this is just a test part, Product parts are much larger and more complicated. as the Blend is manufactured using a round over, user defined tool, i am currently using a planer profile operation and selecting lines / curves of the part to define the tool path. - which on a larger part takes ages and a lot of these parts are one offs.


the Feature detection appears to work fine :

then i program one feature using planer mill operation & user defined tool :

when  i try to teach operation i get this error:

WARNING: Type clash: PocketMilling.Region_Connection: Boolean (false=0,true=1) = Tma.Integer[4]
ERROR: Unknown class: 'MILL_ORIENT' (Geometry Type)
ERROR: Unknown class: 'EngageRetract_?' (NCM Type

i have read the manual's and it seems that i may need to use the MKE and manually edit things,   its just not very clear about what i need to edit.


if anyone who has experience with FBM / MKE could give me some help that would be great.   


thanks in advance

Matt

hi again,

just in case anyone else has smiler problems, i thought id let people know that i sorted the problem -  i hadent fully defined the feature before teach feature,


from digging firther in to the manual i found you have to first defign the feature with 3 x Planes ( can only be between 2 lines, or between 2 plane types)  and with a 3 plane type CS before feature detection.

the next problem i hit was when creating feature processes ( after teaching operation)   and i needed to use the knowledge editor to set the parent geometry for the operation to use a Mill area class.

hope this helps someone,  dont hesitate to ask if your having problems,
